GOOD WORKS

Text :  Act 9:36. 

Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha, which by interpretation is called Dorcas: this woman was full of good works and almsdeeds which she did.

As a child of God, you have been called unto good works. Ephesians  2:10 says  *For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.* You must conscientiously walk in the good works you have been created to walk in.

Again, in Matthew chapter five, Jesus, while talking to His disciples listed this virtue as one of many virtues that a true disciple must possess. 

He says, Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. Matthew 5:16.

Your good works will not only make men give glory to God, you will also benefit from it here on earth.

Tabitha was described as a woman full of good works. Unfortunately,  she became sick and died in the prime of her age. Even in death, her good works were still speaking for her.

The widows whom she had helped cried out and God performed His miracle through the hand of Peter. Tabitha was brought back to life.

What can people say about you? Are you full of good works like Tabitha? Don't let life rotate just around you, step out to be a blessing to others. 

Being good is a good business,  you will not only reap the reward in heaven, God will also bless you here on earth. 

Bible  Reading: Acts 9:36-43.

PRAYER FOCUS

1.) Father God, I receive the grace to be full with good works that my life may indeed bring pleasure to both God and man.

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text:  1 Timothy  6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things.   *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy  4:8.  You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy  4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy  6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portray...

WAY MAKER-2

Text: Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I will do a new thing: now it shall spring forth: shall ye not know it?  I will even make a way in the wilderness,  and rivers in the desert. God promised that He will do a new thing for you, and that He will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. He has done this before, and He will do it again even in your own life.  When the children of Israel left Egypt, the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them, encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon.(Exodus 14:9). Just like anyone would react, the Isrealites became so fearful because there is neither way forward nor back for them to escape. Before them was the red sea, behind them were the Egyptian armies. They became perplexed and began to murmur against Moses. It is possible you are also in a situation like the Israelites- No way forward, and no way behind. Things may appear like you are ...

HIS VOICE- 2

Text : John 10:3. To him the porter opens; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calls his own sheep by name, and leads them out. We established yesterday that one thing you can't joke with as a true follower of Christ is *His Voice.* You must recognise and hearken to (obey) His voice. It is in doing this that your safety is assured.  Today, we want to see another responsibility of the Shepherd over His sheep.  To him the porter opens; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calls his own sheep by name, *and leads them out.* John 10:3.  He called you, that He might lead you. It is not enough for you to hear or recognise His Voice, you must allow Him to lead you as well.  Romans 8:14 says *For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.*   The Spirit leading you determines the family you belong to. Basically,  there are only two families in this world - the family of God, and the family of satan. In other words, we can say the Kingdom...
